Find out what your peers are saying about Apache, IBM, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and others in Message Queue (MQ) Software."I appreciate many features including queue, topic, durable topic, and selectors. I also value a different support for different protocols such as MQTT and AMQP. It has full support for EIP, REST, Message Groups, UDP, and TCP."
"It provides the best support services."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the holding and forwarding."
"For reliable messaging, the most valuable feature of ActiveMQ for us is ensuring prompt message delivery."
"ActiveMQ is very lightweight and quick."
"Reliable message delivery and mirroring."
"It’s a JMS broker, so the fact that it can allow for asynchronous communication is valuable."
"The ability to store the failed events for some time is valuable."
"JBoss is easy to use, and we have a good partner here in Tunisia to provide local support."
"Needs to focus on a certain facet and be good at it, instead of handling support for most of the available message brokers."
"The solution's stability needs improvement."
"It would be great if it is included as part of the solution, as Kafka is doing. Even though the use case of Kafka is different, If something like data extraction is possible, or if we can experiment with partition tolerance and other such things, that will be great."
"One potential area would be the complexity of the initial setup."
"Distributed message processing would be a nice addition."
"The solution can improve the other protocols to equal the AMQ protocol they offer."
"It does not scale out well. It ends up being very complex if you have a lot of mirror queues."
"From the TPS point of view, it's like 100,000 transactions that need to be admitted from different devices and also from the different minor small systems. Those are best fit for Kafka. We have used it on the customer side, and we thought of giving a try to ActiveMQ, but we have to do a lot of performance tests and approval is required before we can use it for this scale."
"JBoss could add more automation."
